Rating: - You big dummy
If you are a fan of Fred, you'd be a huge dummy not to buy this box set. My boyfriend and I watch an episode almost every day. Comedy just isn't as good today as it was back then. It's a great product for a great price :)
Rating: - The Ultimate Big One
Even after over 35 years,Sanford & Son is still the funniest show ever.Based on the british sitcom,Steptoe and Son(featuring Wilford Brambell best known to Americans as Paul McCartney's grandfather in A Hard Days Night),a show about a cantankerous junk dealer and his long suffering son who was his business partner.Television producer Norman Lear who had a hit with All In The Family(Based on another British sitcom Til Death Us Do Part),bought the American rights to Steptoe then changed the format and lead characters to African American featuring bawdy comedian Redd Foxx as Fred Sanford and Demond Wilson as the son, Lamont.
Although the first season lacks such memorable characters such as Grady and Aunt Esther(who would make their debut in the following seasons),the chemestry between Foxx and Wilson is undeniable magic.The funniest episodes of the season(many were based on Steptoe episodes were We Were Robbed,Here Comes The Bride,There Goes The Bride and A Matter Of Life or Breathe (the scene with Fred entering the set with a surgical mask is priceless).
After the hilarious first season,the second season of Sanford and Son raised the bar considerably,and set the tone for the rest of the show.This season marks the apperence of the classic supporting cast,including Bubba(Don Bexley),Rollo Lawson(Nathanial Taylor),Julio Fuentes(Gregory Sierra)Officer Hopkins a/k/a "Hoppy(Howard Platt),and of course Fred Sanford's greatest nemesis,Aunt Esther(LaWanda Page).Unfortunately it would mark the ...

Rating: - Uncomplicated humor!
Its been many years since I've seen any of the Sanford & Son shows, this is another great comedy series that vanished into oblivion years ago, but for practically nothing, you can own the entire collection, a little piece of history, every show, 136 episodes, all put together by SONY (Thank God its not one of those cheap second rate recordings that are out there for difficult to find titles) Redd Fox has that dry humor thats fun to laugh at, his jokes seemlessly fit into the scripts of the shows, he pokes fun at everything and he manages to keep off racial issues or sensitive matters that can excite hateful feelings. This show in my opinion, blows away the Archie Bunker mentality we all know from All in the Family or the Jeffersons, and makes the viewer feel less threatened or intimidated by racial issues. I enjoyed this series mostly because of the humor and the brevity of the shows. Redd Fox was a great comedian, one that comes along very rarely. Lamont, his son and partner on the show (Demond Wilson) is not a comedian of the Foxx calibre, but he's a good side kick for Redd Fox and complements Foxx's humor, as do the other characters, Aunt Esther and Grady. Each episode without commercials runs approximately twenty minutes, one or two episodes during dinner keeps me occupied and gives me my fill of comedy for the day.
Rating: - OUTSTANDING TV Series...HORRIBLE Packaging
I won't Lie. The Packaging on this Classic Series is pretty Bad. HOWEVER, for this Awsome and Unbelievable PRICE for this Hilarious TV show MORE then makes UP for the HORRIBLE Packaging of this Product. I won't get into specific shows that I enjoy. I will only note that Every single show will is Bound to at the very least get One good Laugh Out of You. Timeless and Classical Stuff here. Enjoy and Laugh to your New Complete Series of Sanford and Son.
Rating: - SHAME on you SONY DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 5 stars are for the show, which is one of my favorites, but 0 stars for the packaging.Cheap, cheap, cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Really expect more from a Sony purchase, i expect the quality that shows like Bewitched get!This packaging is a new one on me, they are all stacked on a spindle, like how cd-rs and dvds are sold in bulk.Maybe they think people want to make their own covers, or lift up the whole stack to get to one at the bottom each time , but not me, they can keep it, my set arrived and was shipped back the same day!The double slimline cases( that they should have used, and like they use for other series) cost me as a consumer about .20 cents each, i imagine buying them in bulk makes them cheaper for a company like Sony, so if they are in such a need for money, charge a couple bucks extra and do it RIGHT.
